House Amendment 001
Provides that out-of-school suspensions of longer than 3 days, expulsions, and disciplinary removals to alternative schools may be used only if other appropriate and available behavioral and disciplinary interventions have been exhausted and the student's continuing presence in school would either (i) pose a threat to the safety of other students, staff, or members of the school community or (ii) substantially disrupt, impede, or interfere with the operation of the school (instead of only if the student's continuing presence in school poses a threat to the safety of other students, staff, or members of the school community or substantially disrupts, impedes, or interferes with the operation of the school and other appropriate and available behavioral and disciplinary interventions have been exhausted); makes a related change. Provides that school officials shall make all reasonable efforts to address such disruptions to the greatest extent practicable.
Senate Amendment 002
Provide that out-of-school suspensions of longer than 3 days, expulsions, and disciplinary removals to alternative schools may be used if the student's continuing presence in school substantially disrupts, impedes, or interferes with the operation of the school and other appropriate and available behavioral and disciplinary interventions have been exhausted. Provides that "substantially disrupts, impedes, or interferes with the operation of the school" shall be determined on a case-by-case basis by school officials.
